Title: Improvements in or connected with Water Heating Boilers.
Inventor: BELL ABLETT
IPC: F24H1/28
Filed: 1909-04-17
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 9086. Bell, A. April 17. Vertical boilers. - In hot-water boilers in which the water space surrounds, and to some extent overhangs, the furnace in an inclined position, means are provided for utilizing the heat as far as possible, removing deposit from the boiler, feeding air to the furnace, and exposing the fire to view or not ; and the arrangement of the upper part of the heating-chamber is modified. In the boiler shown, the water space is formed by rear inclined walls 17a, vertical side walls, and front walls 17<c>, enclosing a fire-grate suitably supported and preferably removable. The ash-pan 15 carries a door 16 ; or hinged doors may be carried on the outer casing. The inclined back is carried to the top of the casing, where an outlet 18 is provided. Below this upper front part is a charging-door 20. At the upper part of the inclined space, lateral flues 21 lead to the gases, which pass downwards to the outlet 22. A plug for removing incrustation &c. is placed at the bottom of the inclined space below any other part of the water space. An adjustable air-inlet valve 26 is formed in the front of the casing so that the air admitted must pass between the outer casing and the front water space before reaching the fire-grate.

Granted: 1911-01-06
Abstract: 28,497. Mackenzie, J. W., [Taft, S. B.]. Dec. 6. Change-box motions.-Relates to means for operating the change-box motion &c. when the loom driving-clutch is uncoupled. The headmotion shaft 114. which carries an eccentric for driving the change-box motion, is normally driven by a clutch 85 on a shaft 83 driven from the crank-shaft by means of bevel-gearing. The direction of rotation of the pattern cylinder, which is driven from a shaft 101, may be reversed by means of gearing 103, 104, 105 controlled by a handle 108, so arranged that, when it is pulled to the right, it moves a roller 112 into the path of a cam 113. When the handwheel 115 is turned, after the loom has been stopped and the handle 108 has been moved to the right, the cam 113 periodically lifts a rod 111 and moves a swinging frame, thus pressing a rotating friction wheel 120 into contact with a friction wheel 121 and thereby driving the shaft 114 by power through a part of each revolution.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Roundabouts.
Inventor: PAGE JONATHAN
IPC: A63G1/28
Filed: 1909-12-31
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 30,559. Page, J. Dec. 31. Roundabouts.-The horses A of a roundabout are fixed to a shaft B mounted in bearings at the lower ends of two rods C, D, which slide vertically through bearings E<1> in the frame E. The upper ends of the rods D are secured near the outer ends of levers G, which are pivoted at their inner ends to the swifts F, and carry at their outer ends wheels G<3> which run on a fixed circular undulating rail H. Each rod C is connected to the inner end of a lever J which is pivoted at its middle to a lever G and has its outer end connected to the frame E by a rod K. When the framework is rotated, the rail H gives a rising and falling motion to levers G, and this motion is communicated to the horses. The horses may at the same time be rocked about the shaft B by means of an arm L fixed to the shaft and connected to the frame E by means of a link M. Other means may be employed to give the rocking motion to the shaft B.

Abstract: 8701. Cross, J. W. April 11. Cam-actuated pumps; stroke, varying; valves, arrangement of.-The fuel-supply pump of an oil - engine is provided with an improved regulating-device interposed between the actuating-cam and the moving member of the pump to vary the stroke, either manually or automatically, in accordance with the load. The inlet pipe 3 leads past a filter 14 to suction valves 12 in the pump casing 1, and the delivery is.by way of two valves 13 and also two adjustable spring-controlled valves near the injector nozzle. The valve pockets have caps 15 to facilitate removal of the valves. The plunger 6 is guided by a bracket 7 and has an enlarged portion 8, between which and the bracket is a spring 9 for maintaining the plunger in its outer position. Between the cam 16 on the shaft 17 and the head 8 is the regulating-device 18 pivoted at 19 and carrying a roller 21 adapted to engage with the cam. The outer position of the plunger is varied by means of a hand-lever 35 having an eccentrically-mounted member 34 adapted to engage the part 33 of the lever 18. The regulating-device has a projection 22 provided with a notch 23. Upon the shaft 17 is a conical sleeve 29 which is moved longitudinally thereon by a governor 37. The lever 25 is pivoted at 24 and is provided with a spring 27 which keeps the member 30 in engagement with the conical sleeve. The sleeve normally prevents the arm 26 of the lever 25 from engaging the notch 23, but when the engine speed exceeds a predetermined limit, the sleeve is moved so that the arm 26 engages the notch 23 and holds the arm 18 and plunger 6 in their innermost positions.

Mercury derivatives of phenylpyrazolones are produced by acting with a mercury salt or other inorganic or organic compound of mercury upon a phenylpyrazolone derivative which contains a free methylene group. Suitable pyrazolones are 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone, p-nitro-1-phenyl- 3-methyl-5-pyrazolone, p-amino-1-phenyl-3- methyl-5-pyrazolone, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone-p-sulphonic acid, o-chlor-1-phenyl-3-methyl- 5-pyrazolone-m-sulphonic acid, 1:3-diphenyl-5- pyrazolone, 1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone-3-carboxylic acid, 1-phenyl-3-pyrazolone, 1-phenyl-3-methyl- 5-pyrazolone-p-methylamino-#-carboxylic acid, and other sulphonic and bromsulphonic acids and other brom-derivatives of phenylpyrazolones. The products are suitable as internal remedies and as germicides. 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone-p-sulphonic acid is prepared by diazotizing sulphanilic acid, transforming the diazo compound into the hydrazine derivative, and condensing the hydrazine sulphonic acid with acetoacetic ester. o-Chlor-1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone-m-sulphonic acid is prepared by transforming the diazo compound of o - chlormetanilic acid (Cl:NH2:SO3H=1:2:4) into the corresponding hydrazine sulphonic acid and condensing the product with acetoacetic ester. 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone-p-methylamino- #-carboxylic acid is prepared by the action of chloracetic acid upon'p-amino-1-phenyl-3-methyl- 5-pyrazolone in the presence of sodium acetate or calcium carbonate.
